I’m most looking forward to meeting new people from different organizations and bringing fun activities to Ann Arbor’s kids!

What is your all-time favorite movie?

The best movie I’ve seen recently is Coco because of how much the themes of love, family, acceptance, and art resonated with me. I’m the first in my family to pursue art as a career, and the love and support my family has shown me are what have gotten me here.

What is your all-time favorite movie?

If I had to pick a favorite movie it would be between The Matrix and Coming to America. I would choose Coming to America only because it takes place in Queens and Eddie Murphy is hilarious!

What is your all-time favorite movie?

The best movie I’ve seen recently is The Greatest Showman and it has become my all-time favorite. I am a sucker for musicals… and Zach Efron, but come on, who isn’t? Also it has a great message to chase your dreams and never be ashamed of who you are.
